OSP Tutorial An Introduction

Getting to OSP  Obtain a CSE account  Recommend xming to remote log in from USF Website   Log Into grad  grad.cse.usf.edu

Getting to Know OSP  Manual is Your Friend!!!!  Read OSP Manual to gain an understanding of programming in OSP  Read subsequent sections in 1 for an understanding of specific modules in OSP

Guide for First Assignment  Log into grad.cse.usf.edu server  Copy necessary files from /home/csee1/ospuser/HW109.solaris

Guide for First Assignment  Copy necessary files to your computer or to a working directory:  Makefile  inter.c  timeint.c  dialog.c  inter.o

Guide for First Assignment  Follow directions on assignment handout for modifying the Makefile  Use knowledge from other modules in OSP to edit timeint.c  Use favorite C editor to edit the file or pico under Unix.

Guide for First Assignment

 When finished editing timeint.c file, upload files to directory on grad if necessary  On grad, in the directory where your files are located type “make” to compile the program  Type OSP to run the simulator (See 2.2 and 2.3 in manual)

Guide for First Assignment  Compile OSP (ignoring warning messages): 234 grad: make cc -c -g dialog.c cc -c -g inter.c cc -c -g timeint.c cc /home/csee1/ospuser/HW109.solaris/osp.o dialog.o inter.o timeint.o -lm -g –o OSP 235 grad: OSP –d par.high... output is redirected to 'simulation.run'... wait... FINITA FINITA

Guide for First Assignment  Table 2.1 shows simulator parameters  Recommended Interactive and Trace modes to view simulation steps

Guide for First Assignment  Example of step in OSP

Guide for First Assignment  Can put numbers in a file for parameters and load this file using OSP “your_parameter_filename” (see pg77)  Tips for debugging:  OSP –d enters debugging mode  View simulator results using a text editor in simulation.run (ex. PICO)

Guide for First Assignment  Successful Simulator Run:

Guide for First Assignment  Once timeint.c completed, go on to inter.c  Once inter.c is completed, time to hand in!  Hand-In (See pg. 82 in manual)  Run the hand_in script located in the OSP directory from the directory with your files

Guide for First Assignment

 Pick the compiler (here gcc, you use cc)

Guide for First Assignment  Enter the parameter file name  There are two parameter files, one is less intense than the other. First run the par.trace file.

Guide for First Assignment  Enter any necessary comments in the comments field  Hopefully all runs well!

Guide for First Assignment  Now enter the next parameter file par.high

Guide for First Assignment  Again enter any necessary comments

Guide for First Assignment  If you see this, you pat yourself on the back!

Guide for First Assignment  Press enter to close  Verify your submission worked by looking at simulation.run

Guide for First Assignment  Debugging Mode:

Guide for First Assignment  For your result comparison with the simulators’ results, use the run.high parameter file.  Section 2.4 talks about interpreting the results.
